Message: <blockquote data-quote="Lyxen" data-source="post: 8619571" data-attributes="member: 7032025">I did not need that level of detail, but just the fact that it was a rare occurence.There is not: "The orc warrior charges into battle, cutting down its enemies with its battleaxe." And that's it. Why is that a minion (and not the orc raider, who has "The orc raider hurls handaxes until it runs out of axes or until its enemies close to melee, at which point it draws its greataxe"), still a mystery to me...There is no such thing as "lore" here. Here is everything that is said on them: "Any living creature that enters this chamber and does not make a point of holding its breath breathes in the blood droplets and automatically catches a disease called ghoul rot. Treat it as the disease slimy doom (see page 50 of the Dungeon Master's Guide), but increase all DCs by 3; also, instead of turning into infectious slime when the disease runs its course, the victim becomes an abyssal ghoul."How does this create an aura of "unending hunger" (whatever that is) is still a mystery to me. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f61b.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":p" title="Stick out tongue    :p"  data-smilie="7"data-shortname=":p" />Which is why HPs for creatures are rolled, by my VTT or by hand when relevant. Heck, my VTT even randomly creates nicknames for my orcs, and one can be a bully and the other a coward, which is great for roleplaying them in combat. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
